Snagged this one for $50

I don’t believe it’s an E/W. Looks more like this Ibex

There were so many companies copping E/W designs. Ibex was one of the few Ives seen that did a half way decent job of it. Leather isn’t nearly as nice. Collar is far better than the original.

There is a guy selling a good condition "Rover" EWMI jacket in a larger size for $1000. Is that a fair price? Bargain?

This just arrived today. It’s a size 44. I typically wear 38-40. The shoulder and pit to pit fit very well. The sleeves are a bit long but no complaints here. The leather is surprisingly supple and the condition is pretty amazing for this old of a jacket. I can see why EWMI jackets are so collectible, the quality is very good and the style is just cool.
